wanted to share some pics of new aero kit for X5.
total cost $3800 parts, paint, and labor at private shop in houston. install lasted 1 week.
according to installer, the hardest part was cutting perfect holes to fit the muffler. they had to find a special drill to handcut the hole. 4.8 emblem was moved to back.

despite cost, i am very satisfied. haven't seen another one around town.

Wow!! That looks awesome to say the least. Those euro clear fronts would throw it over the top.

I agree. It looks great and the Euro clears would complete the transformation. The 4.8 wheels look really nice with the aero kit and I really like the new front bumper with the facelifted aero kit. It it not as plain and the previous one. Nicely done!

your x5 looks wicked man,
i have never seen it here in britain, can you please tell me where you got them in the states

I ordered the AERO kit when I ordered my new X-5 a little over a week ago. The dealer is charging me $3700 total for the kit, install, paint etc. Mine will be jet black and I'll post pictures as soon as I pick up my new X-5. 15 inches of snow here in Norhthern Wisconsin again today & I so wish I had my 5 now!!! Here's a picture out my window towards the lake after only about 4 inches of snow this morning...

Hello.
WOULD YOU TELL ME THE ADDRESS OF THE SHOP WHERE YOU BOUGHT THIS AERO KIT?
CONTACT ME : romantuning@rambler.ru
thanks in advance!

I'm looking at purchasing a used 2005 X5 4.8is with only 10,000 miles on it. This aero kit might look ridiculously sweet on it...how has the durability been as far as the paint holding up over time...apparently some adherence issues?
